Sometimes Diabetes Takes Center Stage

Apples as a Solution

September 27, 2011

The past few nights I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night at 45 mg/dL. And then waking up in the morning at 20_. I thought that it was because of the weekend and not paying as much attention to food as I do during the week. So last night I had one of my favorite fall snacks: apple and peanut butter. I hoped that the peanut butter would keep my sugars steady. I never did wake up low, but I still woke up this morning at 202 mg/dL. I am not looking at a snack to be a permanent fix, but waking up with the alarm rather than covered in sweat. Experiments are part of diabetes, and I clearly haven’t totally figured this one out yet, but I’m getting closer.
